tHE AluMINum GrOuP
The legacies of Burt Bacharach, Henry Mancini and The Carpenters permeate intensively throughout this collection. The Navin brothers concoct musical trinkets that are velvety and evocative in their instrumentation and vocal delivery. However, any illusions of aesthetic naïvité are shelved by the more adult and worldly-wise lyrics which, when offset against the occasional incorporation of cheesier instrumental references to '80s pop, provide this duo with an easy-listening vocabulary all of their own.

spring heel jack
The British duo Spring Heel Jack took the world of drum 'n' bass and jungle to new, sophisticated levels. Their music begins with the standard drum and bass formula—frenetic rhythms, arching synth notes, throbbing bass tones, skittering break beats, and samples—but transcends the ordinary by making forays into free jazz, dub, and modern classical music.

pigpen
Wayne Horvitz's group Pigpen pushes the limits of the small avant-garde combo -- saxophone, keyboard, bass and drums -- taking it noisy, jarring new frontiers. Equal parts rock and free jazz, V as in Victim is a weird journey through a number of styles and sounds -- there's some grooves, some soundscapes and some brutally dissonant variations on free jazz.

The best PBO release ever. Tough, minimal hiphop with a new (for early 90's) semi industrial and dark ambient flair to it. Prefuse73 may changed the trend of idm hiphop but PBO did the same beforehand.

BASIL KIRCHIN
"Quantum" was spliced together by Basil using jazz, field recordings (animals, insects, trams), his wife and Autistic children. It's all based on Basil's theories of sound, and that when you slow down or speed up sound, you open up new doors, and new sound is revealed. Considering this recording was made circa 1973, one cannot underestimate the true genius and musical foresite of the man.

Keelhaul has no qualms in switching between material as dense and heavy as any death metal band your likely to ever hear and a bit that might recall some lynard skynard. If you consider yourself a fan of such acts as Clutch, Neurosis, the Melvins, Mastodon, Spaceboy, Godflesh, or even f**king Led Zeppelin then you owe it to yourself to score some Keelhaul albums and appreciate

MUTE MATH
With their Reset EP, Mute Math offers a fresh spin on a classic sound, starting with the anthemic rock of The Police and U2, and then layering it with modern electronic techniques and vintage keyboards. They're not the first to blend an organic band sound with computers, as anyone who's heard '90s band Jesus Jones or today's The Killers can attest, but Mute Math sure does it well.

gabor szabo
Gabor Szabo is one of those gigantically influential guitarists whose name or music few have ever heard. Carlos Santana, John McLauglin, Robbie Krieger, and Larry Coryell all seem to have spent some serious quality time soaking in Szabo’s hypnotic sound. Largely self-taught, Szabo‘s playing brilliantly fused elements of jazz, pop, Gypsy, Indian, and Middle-Eastern music, creating a highly mystical and totally unique style.
A refugee of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Szabo spent his formative years playing guitar in underground jam sessions in Budapest. His distinctive sound matured during an important four-year tenure in Chico Hamilton’s pioneering quintet, which also featured saxophonist Charles Lloyd. Two years into his solo career and deep in the midst of the late ‘60s music revolution, Szabo released his studio masterpiece, Bacchanal. It was on this 1968 recording that he triumphed in his experiments with feedback and Eastern-tinged psychedelic re-workings of current pop tunes.
The album opens with one of two Donovan covers, "Three King Fishers." Szabo fluidly bends his guitar strings to create a spellbinding sitar-like sound. Classically trained guitarist Jimmy Stewart accompanies him with rhythmic intensity. Monster drummer Jim Keltner is magic here, keeping things incredibly tight while seamlessly floating in and out of jazz, rock, and Eastern time signatures. "Three King Fishers" is a golden psychedelic relic, comparable in mood and intensity to the Doors’ brooding classic, "The End." The title track, one of only two Szabo originals included here, follows the shining path of "Three King Fishers." Hal Gordon’s percussion adds another layer of rhythmic complexity to the mix, driving the song to the highest of heights. Szabo’s agile fingers wring every bit of emotion imaginable from his electric guitar. This musical highpoint is followed by the album’s second Donovan cover, "Sunshine Superman." This up-tempo track sounds wonderfully dated, conjuring up images of miniskirt clad Go-Go dancers gyrating in suspended cages while waves of multi-colored lights wash across their bodies. Szabo’s contagiously energetic playing uplifts the song, keeping it from sinking into pure kitsch. "The Look Of Love" is a pre-Barry White pillow talk classic: clink your wine glasses and sink into the plush shag carpet of this relaxed groove. The strongest LP recorded by Szabo’s regular group of the era, this would prove to be their last session. While Bacchanal is largely an album of ‘60s pop covers, Szabo’s inspired quintet transforms the material into a one of a kind collection of first-rate jazz instrumentals(musthear)

i wolf & burdy
The record's outernational bent, improbable touches of Eastern European folk collide with Le Rap and bassy eclectronica, paints a convincing picture of a gang of nomadic misfits adrift from instituted culture in sufferance of it's paucity of relevance to their intense demands; a culture they believe is at once not sufficiently cerebral and neither funky enough. These mentalist hedonists have gone glocal, the band of 50 whoop it up in a basement under the flyover somewhere nowhere.MATTHEW INGRAM

The newest in what will hopefully be a series of collaborative projects, Into Forever finds Manual (aka Jonas Munk, member of Limp and recent philosophy graduate) of the Morr Music label working with Icebreaker International (aka Alexander Perls, member of early incarnation of Piano Magic and all-around conceptual prankster). The theory of this first "Sound Of A Handshake" release is that the music from Into Forever will be placed aboard the Antares, an audio-projecting space probe which will be launched in the year 2011, plopping itself down in the middle of a galaxy 5 light years away from earth and playing these 8 tracks on infinite repeat on solar power.almostcool

fight club
The score to David Fincher's controversial, subversive film Fight Club was composed and performed by the Dust Brothers, whose production and remixing work with artists like the Beastie Boys, Beck, and the Chemical Brothers helped shape the sound of the '90s. Their music for Fight Club reflects their own hip-hop and dance roots, as well as the film's edgy, underground tone in its blend of trip-hop, drum'n'bass, and electro elements
